Punch Your Art Out

Hello again everyone, it's Michelle here today with another project for you. My project today is featuring punched shapes as the focal point of the card. I was a punch collector for years before I actually started using them a lot. They were a bit of a nemesis for me, and I could never seem to work them into my projects and like the results. Luckily that is changing now and I have developed quite a love for my punches! Good thing too, because I have a lot of them, LOL!

In this card, I used three punched hearts as the focal point of my card instead of a stamped image. I punched them from Little Boy Collection - Sailboats, and I am not actually sure who makes that striped paper. I attached them to my kraft card base that I stamped some hearts from Hearty Hearts in some VersaMark ink. The center heart is up on a foam dot so that it stands out more than the others. I stamped my sentiment from Sympathy & Care with some brown ink on cream cardstock and trimmed the ends to make it look like a banner that extends out over the sides.
